I'm trying to build the best possible rig for $500
Just gonna play LoL, WoW, Planetside 2, nothing too graphic dependent
I won't need an OS, mainly concerned about MOBO, GPU, PSU, and if I will need 3rd party cpu cooler, I won't be over clocking, don't see a need for the above mentioned games.
So far, I have:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($84.98 @ Outlet PC)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($79.98 @ Outlet PC)
Memory: Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($56.58 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card ($109.98 @ Newegg)
Wireless Network Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N180UBE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter ($19.99 @ Amazon)
Case Fan: Apevia CF4SL-4C 25.6 CFM 80mm Fan ($4.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($17.98 @ Outlet PC)
Total: $464.46
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
I am wondering if I could use one of my old computer cases, and will it have enough air flow, if not, could you possibly recommend a case for me?
Thank you in advanced
